Why doesn’t this question come up when you search on the entire expression “What is the correct term for a zombie jellyfish?”

The phrase “zombie jellyfish” caught my eye as I was closing a page, but I forgot which page I’d been on, and so I went back and tried to search on it. No hit. Then I searched on the entire question as I recalled it. No hit. Is the Meta section excluded from search results?

I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s important for people to be able to find this thread whenever they fix their minds on this question.

I believe that’s the wrong kind of “living,” @timtrueman. That’s a noun in the sense of “a living,” as in “to make a living.” WikiAnswers is really not such a reliable source, anyway. I left there to come here (via AV) because it is full of juveniles who just want to know if they are pregnant and go around vandalizing answers while they wait to find out.

Besides, “living dead” isn’t the word. “Zombie” is the word. If there’s no Latin for it, then I don’t see how I can answer the question. May as well hang in with “zellie.”

Nope, sorry, @Dr_Dredd. Good job with the coinage, but a descriptor like brain-eater is not a translation of “zombie.” It’s just a descriptor. That’s why I rejected “living dead.” Anyway, the phage part is Greek. If we’re going to be pedantic about this, we have to be purists too.
